I mean once you lost a F16, the re-supply will be not so easy as JF-17
Even you pursuit other F16, it will not be so easy as making one in your homeland.
Others totally agree with you

Well yes and no. F16 parts today are quite easy to find, unlike in the '90s This is one reason why PAF is aggressively pursuing getting second hand F16's as well.

Secondly, JF17 is a good multi-role aircraft like you said, the intent was to have a cost effective, reliable work horse to replace the mirage and the migs. Good thing about it is that it's a good 2nd tier a/c that can be used for BVR engagements as well. On the WVR front, it is better then the mirages and migs it replaces, BUT not as good as the F16.

Salam Alaikum Sadiq @Indus Falcon ,

Does the Pakistan Air Force equip AIM-9X, and AIM 120C7s on its fleet of F-16s?

No, AIM-9M/L & AMI-120-C5s.

Bro you are right on both counts.

From what I understand, the reason PAF is interested in the F16, is as a stop gap measure until a more advanced Chinese aircraft can be inducted.

No, AIM-9M/L & AMI-120-C5s.

I stand corrected

Yes you are right Bro
Currently China is lacking of advanced aircraft..
So we need to wait some time, until J10B/C or even J31 can be offered to you.

Bro you are right on both counts.
